The Weekly Bleat: Solitude
“The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.”
~Michel de Montaigne
An evening walk on Green Hill Farm often rewards one with sunsets and speaks to the soul.

My name is Tonya, and I grew up on a 300-acre farm in rural Virginia that has been in my family for over 100 years. After graduating from college, receiving my master’s degree in speech and language pathology, and living and working in a small city for six years, I decided to return to the place of my childhood. Here, in this rural area, on this patch of green, where for four generations my family has farmed, gardened, and lived, I, too wanted to be a part of this continuity. As a fourth generation farmgirl, I have many interests that not only include, but also go beyond the basics of farming, gardening, sheep and chicken-keeping. It is all of this and more that I plan on sharing in this blog.
Beautiful photos!!

Thanks, George. We’ve had a decent amount of rain this fall, and the pastures are still fairly green. I went for a walk last evening; however, I didn’t have a camera to capture the stunning sunset. These pictures are from an earlier walk 3-4 weeks ago. 🙂

Still beautiful. I love Virginia…been several places but the Charlottesville area was so pretty. Horse farms, history, etc and close to the BRP.

Thank you, George. I do, too. Virginia really is a lovely state–mountains, sea, farmland, and vineyards. It has something for everyone. 🙂
